There could have easily been edits at the helicopter and the sheets drying. Don't know why I'm getting involved in this argument though, I don't give a flying fukk about the technical aspects of storytelling.

DAMN THIS IS A STRETCH...BUT ANOTHER THEORY
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
While some people thought billboard hangers had messed up the posters when they first went up, it's that unique "split" poster design that's the biggest clue of all. On the show, Marty's hair is not just Harrelson's tow-head blond — it's straight yellow. And while we see it in various styles throughout the decades spanned in the series, the show's poster cuts it off at the crown of his head (yes! The crown!), highlighting Marty's hair on its own plane, below. Take a closer look now that we've pointed out the obvious:
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

lol, now motherfukkers is really reaching.
It was a good shot but cant hold a candle to children of men's uncut steady cam shot. That really looks unbelievable
Anyone know how the lovecraftian stuff ties into Satanism? Or are the cult members not Satanists? I saw the dude Marty shot had the big pentagram tattoo
It's completely separate short stories. "The King In Yellow" or aspects of it is just mentioned in each. And
at "it didn't live up to the hype". There is no hype surrounding it, it's pretty obscure as far as this type of stuff goes.Chambers had a hot line, Lovecraft made it a hot song.

I'm following you on the bolded.The rest, yeah, I could see it playing out like that, but I don't necessarily agree with that as much as I do the bolded part.
It does, but that's a very strange clue just to put somewhere like that.
Also, the marketing team probably didn't know the extent of the complete story whenever they made the posters.
This show is simultaneously the best and the worst product placement for Lone Star beer.

It doesn't tie into it at all. God/Satan doesn't exist in The Cthulhu Mythos, the only gods are the Great Old Ones (Cthulhu, Azathoth, Nyarlathotep, Yog-Sothoth, Hastur aka The King In Yellow, etc.)
Now, one of the Great Old Ones, Nyarlathotep aka The Crawling Chaos, is often mistaken for Satan and is worshiped as such. He appears as a handsome charismatic man that offers power and prestige to his followers, but it always leads to ruination and madness.
That's the thing about the Great Old Ones though, they're bad news. You've probably seen movies or read stories where someone sells their soul to the Devil in exchange for riches or power....the Great Old Ones have no interest in humans or souls. They want to wipe out all life on Earth, that's it. They don't make deals and they don't reward their followers. Only the most depraved, insane people (like Reggie Ledeux) would willingly worship them.
Side note:
Nic Pizzolatto is probably using Chambers "The King In Yellow" instead of directly referencing Lovecraft because "The King In Yellow" is public domain. No one holds the copy right to it so it's free. Also he gets the added bonus of it tying into The Cthulhu Mythos, anyway, for free. Lovecraft's stuff is kind of a legal nightmare as far as copyrights go.

Another thing that got me on Marty wife is that she is a matchmaker it seems , the two girls she tried to hook Rust with like girls who went that school , think I'm reaching? Look at the class pictures again , they are around the same ages as the girls she introduced Rust to .
